COMMENTS: Pressure's on, Carlosterios. The classic Dodger formula of great starting pitching and barely-there offense has yielded two wins in their past three games. Unfortunately, according to MLB.com, Monasterios' ERA "as a reliever is almost four runs lower" than his ERA as a starter, so this could be a lopsided affair if the Dodgers' bats don't emerge from deep freeze. (You thaw what I did there?)

After reading the fine piece regarding the Divorce, I find myself wrestling with going to another game and plunking down $15 for parking, let alone the food prices.

Coming in from OC, I need to factor all that in with the drive time and having 3 kids to tow (the eldest, not much of a baseball fan). I am glad to see they brought back the family 4 pack, but hell, that parking kills.

1) MetroPCS2) Olive Garden3) The one where little kids are singing the national anthem really shitty and high-pitched4) State Farm/girls conjuring ideal agent5) Firestone/people singing about "fire and stone"

The only positive I can draw from the last few days of bullpen struggles is that I've gotten a good view of the shrubbery used around the edges. I'm going to buy some of the same stuff and use it in a landscaping project I'm "working" on around my patio.
